The squad was effectively out of postseason contention after this past weekend's defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Prior to the 2022 campaign, the Raiders extended Carr's contract for a further three years and $121.5 million. However, they set it up so they could quickly sever ties with him after just a year.
